Does your toilet use HOT water for flushing? I hope you're using an inline water filter on your water supply - both city water connection and to fill your fresh water tank. :W
Normally use an inline filter.

I did not use a filter when filling the tank when I was adding bleach for sanitizing.
It could have been an algae from the water setting for most of five months BUT the water stank of chlorine with initial use when I finally went camping.
Won’t dewinterize until within days of camping next time.
